Runway Inspired Challenge

My first time to take a try at a card for the Runway Inspired Challenge. Specifically, challenge # 32.

Obviously, it is a very literal take on the fashion photo. :-)

The contrasts of texture/weight caught my eye!

I coated the lower area of black cardstock with Glossy Accents & added sparkles to copy the black patent shoes with rhinestone trim. I  gathered a satin ribbon for the skirt. To approximate the contrasting texture of the sweater, I ran the upper piece of cardstock through a crimper both horizontally and vertically. And, while the photo doesn't do a good job of showing, the sentiment is die cut from glimmer paper, with the curly brackets being a nod to the punctuation on the sweater in the original image.

I used: Silver sparkle paper, Stampin' UP!. Headline dies, Papertrey Ink. Sparkles, Close to My Heart. Cardstock and ribbon, unknown.

Papertrey March Blog Hop Challenge

Papertrey's Bog Hop Challenge this month is to use sequins. I admit, I wasn't sure about the sequin trend, but I tried them out on a few cards.

Thank you for stopping by.
